Automated Enterprise: Many High-ROI Opportunities
10/30/2004 12:00:00 AM
An automated data center promises to self-configure, self-optimize, and self-protect. When looking to implement an automated data center, one must consider best practices in user and resource provisioning, infrastructure availability, and user management. Doing so will allow automated data centers to expedite the automation processes in IT operations and administration; virtualization and provisioning; security; and availability.

Will Recent Acquisition Catalyze Catalyst's Strategy? - Part Four: Market Analysis, Challenges, and User Recommendations
10/29/2004 12:00:00 AM
Existing customers should be comforted by the backing of a financially stable parent company with money to invest. Although this acquisition sounds like a very positive event, and ComVest and Catalyst appear to have strategic growth intentions, look for future proof in the actions they take in the coming months.

Business Process Management - How to Orchestrate Your Business
10/27/2004 12:00:00 AM
Business process management (BPM), having evolved over the past fifteen years, has finally reached a level of maturity where vendors are now abolishing functional silos to allow the enterprise-wide flow of business processes. It replaces the old, manual system of coordinating activities in a company and improves functionality and effectiveness through modeling, documentation, certification, collaboration, automation, and compliancy to minimize costly errors.

Will Recent Acquisition Catalyze Catalyst’s Strategy? - Part Two: Current Strategy
10/26/2004 12:00:00 AM
Catalyst is one of the first supply chain execution suppliers to offer both the "flow-through" functionality and traditional warehouse management features in one system, allowing a facility to run in either or both modes. Its current strategy, termed "Best-for-Business," is to offer componentized products based on an open, modular technology, and solution-neutral consulting services driven by customers' business goals.

Will Recent Acquisition Catalyze Catalyst’s Strategy? - Part One: Event Summary
10/25/2004 12:00:00 AM
For years, Catalyst International was a leading public WMS/SCE vendor before missteps by its previous management team caused serious problems in strategy and execution. Over the past few years Catalyst's turnaround strategy has returned it to growth and profitability. As a result, it has recently been acquired by ComVest, a wealthy, private investment firm. This development may indicate private equity investors' renewed interest in this market and might validate the company's turnaround strategy that began in late 2001. Still, the question remains whether the anticipated infusion of capital from ComVest will enable Catalyst to become a consolidator and rejoin its mightier direct competitors in the industry's upper echelon.

Secure Transfers of Large Files Over the Internet Using YouSendIt
10/23/2004 12:00:00 AM
A growing problem with rich multimedia electronic presentations is their increasing file size. Data files, in general, are larger, making it challenging to send them over the Internet. Most e-mail clients have limitations on attachment sizes, thus securely sending a one hundred megabyte PowerPoint presentation with embedded video over e-mail is nearly impossible. YouSendIt, however, offers solutions consisting of a free web service and the YouSendIt Enterprise Server. Both solutions offer comprehensive security options. The YouSendIt Enterprise Server is an enterprise level, complete large file transfer consisting of a dedicated server that can integrate with existing network security infrastructure.

10/22/2004 12:00:00 AM
To maximize the return on investment of a customer relationship management system, a new CRM best practices model should be used. A point-based system, self-assessment model that emphasizes senior management leadership and the need to create a culture consistent with CRM can lead to a deployment strategy that is correlated with success. An interactive version of this assessment is included with this article.

CRM, Success, and Best Practices: A Wake Up Call - Part One: Searching and Establishing the Business Parameters of CRM
10/21/2004 12:00:00 AM
Customer relationship management is a sophisticated set of customer-facing tools; however, its technology has outpaced the management strategy used to implement it. Moreover, murky definitions and objectives have caused varying degrees of success and failure to emerge from the same initiative. Clearly defining the objective, implementing holistic best practices, and ensuring that senior management understands CRM as a business strategy can help maximize a CRM investment.
